That Slow Music


I am with my friends.

You are with yours.


Slow music played...


Everyone started to come on their toes

Guys stood in front of girls

Girls were offered hands...


Slow music continued...

emotions deepened in space

everyone's involved-

immensed in the music--

well, those on the dance floor

they are...


"Got no date, so are you..."

I heard so close in my ear

"What?" I asked the 'who'

"Dance?" Your question, the answer


My heart pumped so fast

The music's still a slow one

Tell you, they are not in rhythm

oh, my...


though surprised I said my 'Fine'


Was I hallucinating?

I saw your face got so bright

though dim are the lights...


"You are one lucky gal!"

A silly whisper from a guy-

my bestfriend...

"enjoy your time babe"

"Will do" I answered with a smile.


I never thought I could dance

in the prom with you.

I never thought I could have the chance

But my, here I am tonight...


with the slow music

caressing my cheeks...

... .... ...

...

"Let's get the party started!"

The DJ called out...

And the music played like my heart

so fast, so fast, beat a beat


Then I woke up...


Because it's a dream

of that one prom we never had...
